on the identification of strategic areas of the territory and the analysis of their vulnerability, and the methodology leading to the cartography of Quito’s territorial vulnerability.

The territorial vulnerability analysis aims to identify, characterize and prioritize areas from which vulnerability is generated and disseminated in a territory. Risk prevention should give priority to these areas because they can disrupt

, jeopardize or interrupt the functioning and development of the territory. The approach was developed under the research program entitled "Information System and Risks in the Metropolitan District of Quito”. The article aims to explain this approach, based

Across the whole of our modern world, territory is directly linked to sovereignty to mould politics into a fundamentally state-centric social process: the state'scapture of politics is premissed upon territoriality. The domination of political

practice by territoriality is a consequence of the territorial link between sovereign territory and national homeland.

“Territorial cohesion”, in addition to economic and social cohesion, is the new goal of the European Union. The paper deals with a short review of the genesis of a European spatial development policy, the knowledge-based identification

of territorial challenges, the new concepts of territorial governance and the dialogue with corporations as a part of the stake holder process. - (IfL)

A review of Hungary's foreign policy draws out the special character of Hungarian political and cultural identity to explain why Hungarians living in neighboring states will continue to be a source of territorial tension. - (DWG)

During the past forty years, territorial claims against neighboring states have almost always been justified as attempts to recover land that had been « wrongfully » taken away. Examples of territorial conflicts between Ecuador and Peru, India

and Pakistan, and Togo and Ghana reveal the influences of the discourse of territorial conflict justification.

Unlike countries, cities and regions compete on the basis of an absolute advantage principle and not a comparative advantage principle. The competitiveness of territories emerges as a central issue, in order to secure employment stability, benefits

for external integration, continuing growth of local well-being and wealth. The arguments put forward by P. Krugman, defining the concept of competitiveness, are wrong and misleading, and cannot be accepted in a territorial regional and urban context.

The A. examines the claim of the decreased relevance of existing structures of multipurpose territorial government. He points to configurations of governance that usually lead to situations of diffused accountability and limit the field

of democratic accountability. A change in the existing structures through which territorial self-government and administration are organized is not necessary in order to cope with the pressures and uncertainties of globalization.

property principles and where herders have no enshrined land and resource rights. Using territoriality as the analytical capsule, it founds that the herders’ persistence is related to mainly non-territoriality where the goal is to influence relationships

and resource access but not control area. Categorising their non-territorial expression into persuasive and aggressive forms, it provides a new platform for deconstructing farmer-herder relationships in the West African sub-region.

Calculable territory and the West German census boycott movements of the 1980s

Germany ; Governance ; Population census ; Sovereignty ; Territory

Both the continued relevance of calculable territory and recent changes in its composition and significance for power relations are illustrated by chronicling one important set of controversies in the emergence of the information age : the mass

boycott movements in West Germany in 1983 and 1987 aimed at blocking the federal census in that country. They clearly show the links between soverignty, power/knowledge, intervention and calculable territory.

The A. states that territoriality is based on three elements: an individual, an instrument, and an object. Territories are marked by spatial changes over time and through mutual relationships. Every boundary characterizes an area according to its

own regulations of life. Territories on either side of a boundary show differing networks of spatial relationships. The boundary does not only limit a territory but also the range of activity of a generally recognized instrument such as money. One can

deduce that to alter the significance of a boundary means to change the character of a territory.
